Obama Fired Admiral For Revealing His Dubai Mansion

Top US Admiral Fired For Questioning
Obama Purchase Of Mansion In Dubai. A stunning new Foreign Intelligence Service
(SVR) report circulating in the Kremlin today states that one of the United
States Navy’s top commanders was relieved of his command a few hours ago after
he sent out an “email/posting” revealing that President Barack Obama was in the
process of purchasing a multi-million dollar seaside luxury villa in the United
Arab Emirates city (UAE) of Dubai.

According to this report, the Commander of the US Navy’s Carrier Strike
Group 15, Rear Admiral Rick Williams, posted a “pointed” query on 8 January
[since deleted] to the US Naval Institute’s “Readiness Kill Chain”
“recipients/responders” list as to why Navy security and intelligence personal
had been dispatched from Naval Support Facility Thurmont (aka Camp David) to Dubai
on what he termed an “Obama house hunting mission”.

Within 18 hours of Admiral Williams posting this query, this report
continues, the US Navy’s Third Fleet Commander, Vice Admiral Nora Tyson, acting
on direct orders from her Commander-In-Chief, President Barack Obama, fired
Admiral Williams stating her action was “due to a loss of confidence in his
ability to command” because of “allegations of his misuse of government
computer equipment”.

When further questioned by Russian
Today journalists via email to provide more details about Admiral Williams
firing, this report notes, the Pentagon failed to reply—but then began
releasing “anonymous” stories to the US press that Admiral Williams had been
viewing pornography on his computer.

To such an absurd claim that Admiral
Williams (or any US Navy officer or seaman in fact) could view pornography on
their computers, SVR analysts in this report note, is an impossibility due to
the US Navy/Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI), which not only blocks such sites, but
also requires each single user to log in with their own unique password and
username and whose records are meticulously kept and reviewed on a daily basis
(thanks to Edward Snowden)—and which one would logically think one of the
highest ranking officers in the US Navy would surely be aware of.

(Luxury seaside mansion in Dubai
purchased this week for President Obama.)

As to the “Obama house hunting mission”
Admiral Williams was making his query about before being fired, this report
continues, SVR intelligence “assests” in the UAE identified it as being a
luxury seaside villa located in the Palm Jumeirah development of Dubai being
offered for sale at the price of $4.9 million (18 million United Arab Emirates
Dirham), and which a deposit on it was made this past week by the Washington
D.C. based global public affairs company Podesta Group.

Important to note about the Podesta
Group, this report notes, is that its leader is Tony Podesta, who aside from
being one of the most powerful oligarchs in the US, is a close personal friend
of President Obama too.

Equally important to note about the
Podesta Group’s purchasing of this Dubai luxury seaside mansion for President
Obama, this report says, is that is being legally represented in this purchase
by the equally powerful Washington D.C. based global law firm DLA Piper—both of
whom have long been identified as being the nexus power brokers behind Saudi
Arabia’s massive multi-million dollar “PR machine” operating behind the scenes
corrupting the entire United States political establishment.

To if Saudi Arabia itself is behind the
purchase of this luxury seaside villa in Dubai for President Obama this report
doesn’t state—but to the cost of it being to high after it cost the job of one
of America’s top Naval Commanders is beyond dispute.

The commander of the Navy's Carrier
Strike Group 15, based in San Diego, has been fired due to a loss of confidence
in his ability to command amid allegations that he used his government computer
to watch pornography.

Rear Admiral Rick Williams was removed from his position on Friday, a
Navy release stated. Williams was relieved of his duties by 3rd Fleet boss Vice
Adm. Nora Tyson after just six months in the position "based on the
initial findings of an ongoing investigation into the alleged misuse of
government computer equipment." Williams was found to have looked at
pornographic images on his government computer during a routine inspection,
according to The Navy Times source.

While this violated Navy rules, the
misuse of the computer did not involve any classified material and the
investigation is ongoing, the source added. "They have enough information
to say it wasn't just a mistake," the source said. "It was extensive
enough that they knew it was not just an error."

Williams had been the head of Carrier
Strike Group 15 since June. Its mission is to train Pacific Fleet Carrier
Strike Groups, Amphibious Ready Groups, and independently deploy surface ships
prior to deployment. Prior to this he commanded Navy Region Hawaii and Naval
Surface Group Middle Pacific from 2013 through 2015. Captain Chris Barnes will
serve as a temporary replacement at CSG 15 until a permanent replacement is
named.

Williams, who has 16 military awards,
is the first senior commander fired since 2013 when Stennis strike group
commander Rear Adm. Chuck Gaouette was ousted on deployment in the Middle East.
He was accused of misconduct including foul language, flipping off lieutenants,
speculation that black admirals were chosen because of their race and sending
fellow officers a racially-charged email about a black sailor.
